Trending News: NASA approves Nuclear helicopter to hunt aliens: NASA has approved a special nuclear helicopter, which will search for aliens on Saturn's moon Titan. The name of this helicopter is Dragonfly, and it will start its journey in 2028. This mission is designed to find the possibilities of life on Titan. Let us know about this exciting mission in detail. Dragonfly is a car-sized helicopter that will run on nuclear power. NASA scientists have approved its design and plans. Now its construction will begin. This helicopter will travel 120 crore kilometers to reach Titan. A NASA official said, "After this approval, we will now focus on building the spacecraft."

Hope for life on Titan

Titan is Saturn's largest moon and the second largest moon in the solar system. Its surface has a unique view of methane lakes and hydrocarbon dunes. Scientists believe that there may be a salty water ocean beneath Titan's icy surface, which could make life possible. That is why Titan is considered special for the search for life.

Mission start and challenges

This mission, which was scheduled to launch in 2019, is worth Rs 20,000 crore. Despite cost and time issues, scientists have given priority to Titan. Dragonfly will take off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center in July 2028 on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. It will reach Titan after a seven-year journey and will conduct research there for three years.

Features of Dragonfly

Dragonfly will have cameras, sensors and sampling equipment. It will study Titan's surface, understand its chemical composition and search for signs of life. This helicopter will fly over Titan's mysterious surface and analyze the atmosphere there.

Titan's mysterious atmosphere

Titan's atmosphere is very dense and hazy. Its surface consists of ice, methane lakes and sand dunes. In 2005, NASA's Cassini mission landed the Huygens probe on Titan, which provided a lot of information about this moon. But Dragonfly will go even further and explore the possibilities of life in depth.

The hopes of scientists

Researcher Antonin Affholder of the University of Arizona says that there is an abundance of organic matter on Titan. These substances may be necessary to sustain life. He believes that there is no shortage of food sources on Titan, which may be favorable for life.
